Been patiently looking for a Lexus sedan for the last 6 months or so. My wife is still driving her '94 SC400 that we purchased in '98 w/ 40k miles. Car is still dead quiet, solid and reliable so I figured a used LS or GS was going to be my replacement DD. I really thought the LS was going to be my choice until driving them, but after some lengthy back to back test drives, it was clear the GS was more what I was looking for. The LS just felt too soft, dated, and made me feel older than I am. Back to searching for nice GS's... I've been holding out for a clean car with reasonable miles. Finally found a local car that was pretty much exactly what I was after.
'06 GS430, Flint Mica/Black, 28k miles, all options except PCS. Michelin Pilot Sports w/ about 70% of tread left.
I will say I was ready to drop the GS from my shopping list after the first 3 cars I tested. Turned out they all had runflats which destroyed the feel and quietness on the interstate. After driving a couple of cars that had touring tires, it became apparent that tires can make or break this vehicle.
Nice, so what was the damage to the pocket book if you don't mind me asking?

$33k. Not a spectacular deal, but of the dozen+ cars I drove, this was hands down the nicest and had a complete verifiable service history. I tend to keep cars for a long time and the extra few $ were worth it for peace of mind and a clean vehicle.
